I told everyone working on the apartments to take the day off yesterday because they needed to witness history. That was more important than working for me. I know there are some people that think this is the worst thing that could have ever happened but they’re wrong!! This is a great day that will go down in history as just that, a GREAT DAY!!! One thing is for sure, I didn’t think I would live to see it but thank God I was wrong.
New Orleans has always been known for welcoming PEOPLE to our fair city. We don’t look at a person and say they aren’t welcome because of their heritage, skin color, accent, or anything else. Everyone is welcome in New Orleans just as everyone is welcome in America, or used to be. They should be because the only true ‘American’ are the Indians. Everyone of us that does not have American Indian in our background, are from another country in all reality. We are all immigrants but we all became Americans and that’s what is the most important thing.
I sure hope each and every one of you took the time to watch history in the making unfold before your eyes. I sure did and loved every moment of it.
